no way! Dt swiss 2350, im rockin em, there pretty soft, but they hold up well, 6 days of whistler, 1 race, hard riding, and there still straight!!
dt 6.1d rims, the red dosent stop them from sucking.
Even if they dont, paint them..... Ive done it on a bunch of different hoops(MTX, Arrows... etc) comes out PIMP when its your colors and not someone elses!
yea, rattle can is always an options, until you actually ride them and the rocks chip the paint up
oster_oops:
Right, thanks alot guys. I have these red hubs on my bike and I'd just like to get some rims and other parts to match 'em.
3 easy steps to getting red rims of your choice:
1)acquire rim of your choice
2)paint stripper (just sandpaper if its anodized)
3)paint red.
as long as you use an alright aerosol paint, it would be fine. and if it chips, just paint it again. or change the colour as you wish.

How about those transition rims? are they any good? I've been trying to find some reviews for them but I haven't been able to.
They're a generic Taiwanese rim called Kin Lin or something of that nature.
They're just wide, fairly solid, and very heavy cheap rims.
harder alloy, but still soft
plus 07 6.1 have harder alloy, im not saying there not soft, they are, but 2350 are harder, and 2007 are harder as well
PS still like butter you put in the microwave for 15 seconds then take out
they haven't changed the material at all, just the shape.
Transition would like to denie that. In the freeride forums there was talk about these rims, apparently they arnt so generic.
And Eren...SHHHH...your rims= poo, and you know it.
Sun used to offer what I think was a Rhyno-Lite that was red ano. But they machined the sidewalls so they were the silverish color.
I would kill for a set of those rims un-machined, just pure red ano...

I believe powder coating the whole wheel would add a significant amount.
